The National Post published an opinion piece filled with misinformation. Even though it is an opinion piece, it crosses a line, breaching the basic journalistic standards of accuracy. Opinion articles must still be based on facts. Help us in pressuring the National Post to correct the piece and the public record.

Numerous Canadian outlets, including the CBC, have reprinted a highly flawed Associated Press article that reports on Israel’s killing of 15 Palestinian medics and aid workers, based entirely on the Israeli military’s internal findings where they claim the incident as a case of “professional failures.” While AP doesn’t raise skepticism around this statement, they also minimize firsthand Palestinian testimony by the Palestinian Red Crescent Societie (PRCS) and its official rejection of the Israeli military’s report which it describes as “full of lies.”
